If you’re a college student and want to start listening to Western music but don’t know where to begin, try Ed Sheeran.

If you like it, you should explore various other artists and bands.

If it’s not for you, sticking with Japanese music is fine.

I Feel It ComingThe Weeknd

The Weeknd – I Feel It Coming ft. Daft Punk (Official Video)

I think the most popular Western music among college students who’ve just awakened to style is The Weeknd.

Considering his current momentum, there isn’t a more groundbreaking artist, right? This cool dance sound is strongly influenced by Daft Punk, and that adds a great accent.

If you want to make the most of your college life, load tracks like this onto your music player.

Avenged Sevenfold – So Far Away (Official Music Video)

It’s a hidden gem by a popular American metal band.

My Chemical Romance – Summertime

It’s a classic by a world-renowned rock band from the United States.

While it isn’t among their most famous songs, its beautiful sound and catchy pop feel make it irresistibly memorable.

I especially recommend it to high school students who enjoy pop-leaning tracks.

SulfurSlipknot

Slipknot – Sulfur [OFFICIAL VIDEO] [HD]

An American heavy metal band whose members all cover their faces with deranged-looking masks.

The band is characterized by mid-range vocals that sound distorted and a progressive, aggressive guitar sound, giving them a unique appeal unlike any other.

This song of theirs is a hidden gem that contains both melancholy and madness, and it’s a Western track I’d especially like sensitive high school students to hear.

Ariana Grande’s strong vocals give listeners courage.

Released in July 2014, the song appears on her second album, “My Everything,” and became a major hit, reaching No.
